The Forest Atlases are online platforms that help countries better manage their forest resources by combining government data with the latest forest monitoring technology.

A brief introduction to the Forest Atlases, which were created by the World Resources Institute in collaboration with national governments to provide easy-to-use mapping and analysis tools for forest and land management.
